with no morals or any conscience, who were also cold blood
killers who were said to have cut a baby out of a pregnant
woman’s belly when she was in her eighth month of pregnancy, which if you look at the crime scene photos and read the
coroner’s report IS NOT TRUE AT ALL. The prosecutor goes
on to accuse Manson of “brainwashing” the killers and the
rest of “the family” in a cult-like setting. The murders were
allegedly carried out in order to start this “Helter Skelter race
war”, whereupon the members of “the family” would then
find a bottomless pit to hide in until the war was over and
they emerged to rule the new world. Thus, the murders were
all Manson’s fault because he brainwashed the killers and
then instructed them to kill the victims. This motive theory
is completely false, implausible, absurd and absolutely laughable, so much so that you KNOW it HAD TO COME FROM THE CIA/FBI.
From The NY Daily News
Los Angeles, Jan. 25 - Charles Manson was convicted today as the “diabolical” dictator who ordered
seven murders and his three girl co- defendants
were found guilty as the “mindless but bloodthirsty
zombies” who butchered actress Sharon Tate and
others at his command. All four were convicted of
first degree murder and now face life imprisonment
or the gas chamber. The defendants sat like stones
- silent and expressionless - as they heard the court
clerk read aloud the 27 verdicts and heard their
seven men and five women juror individually agree
that this was their true verdict. Only Manson called
out, remaining seated in his chair, as the jurors left
the trial room. “How come we were not allowed
to put on a defense?” he said, in a low but clear voice. Then, staring at Judge Charles H. Older, he called to him:
“You won’t outlive that, old man - dad - hey dad - look at the truth over here. Hey!” Then, walking out of the trial
room surrounded by guards, Manson again paused as he passed the bench of the 52-year-old judge and said:
“You’ll never live to see the day.” The Tate-LaBianca jurors also found Manson, 36; Patricia Krenwinkel, 23; Susan
Atkins, 22, and Leslie Van Houten, 21, guilty of what the prosecutor said was a “chilling, unearthly conspiracy
to commit wanton orgy of murder.” Leslie was charged only with the murders of Mr. and Mrs. Leno LaBianca,
and with conspiracy. The others, including Manson, who was not accused of actually killing any of the victims,
were charged with all seven murders and with conspiracy. The jurors, who took 42 hours 40 minutes to agree.
Manson’s attorney, Irving Kanarek, denounced the trial as “entertainment for the public.” He accused former
District Attorney Evelle Younger, recently elected state attorney-general, having “created pre-trial publicity to
win the election.” “It is incredible, beyond belief ,” the lawyer said, “that a criminal trial should have been used for
political purposes.” The announcement that the jurors had reached a verdict was made in as weird a fashion as
everything else in this weird trial. Reporters sitting in the trial room heard only one buzz, the signal that means
the jurors had a question or wanted coffee. The regular verdict signal is three buzzes, which can be heard plainly
in the trial room. “There’s a verdict,” they whispered to some of the reporters. It was learned that Judge Older,
rather casually, had said to them: “By the way, gentleman, you should know the jury has a verdict.”
